SynopsisDiscover the classic, behind-the-scenes chronicle of John E. Douglas' twenty-five-year career in the FBI Investigative Support Unit, where he used psychological profiling to delve into the minds of the country's most notorious serial killers and criminals--the basis for the upcoming Netflix original series. In chilling detail, the legendary Mindhunter takes us behind the scenes of some of his most gruesome, fascinating, and challenging cases--and into the darkest recesses of our worst nightmares. During his twenty-five year career with the Investigative Support Unit, Special Agent John Douglas became a legendary figure in law enforcement, pursuing some of the most notorious and sadistic serial killers of our time: the man who hunted prostitutes for sport in the woods of Alaska, the Atlanta child murderer, and Seattle's Green River killer, the case that nearly cost Douglas his life. As the model for Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs , Douglas has confronted, interviewed, and studied scores of serial killers and assassins, including Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and Ed Gein, who dressed himself in his victims' peeled skin. Using his uncanny ability to become both predator and prey, Douglas examines each crime scene, reliving both the killer's and the victim's actions in his mind, creating their profiles, describing their habits, and predicting their next moves., During his twenty-five year career with the Investigative Support Unit, SpecialAgent John Douglas becamea legendary figure in law enforcement, pursuing some of the most notorious andsadistic serial killers ofour time: the man who hunted prostitutes for sport in the woods of Alaska, theAtlanta child murderer, andSeattle's Green River killer, the case that nearly cost Douglas his life.As the model for Jack Crawford inThe Silence of the Lambs, Douglas hasconfronted, interviewed,and studied scores of serial killers and assassins, including Charles Manson,Ted Bundy, and Ed Gein, whodressed himself in his victims' peeled skin.

A riveting ride till the edge of the last page!
A great debut by Douglas & co-author Olshaker. I have read most of it already and it is phenomenal. I recommend also checking out his fellow profilers book, Dark Dreams, written by the late Roy Hazelwood. Both are must reads!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Predators will get caught.
The content shares the psychological factors involved in the different types of killers. The content can get graphic, so if that type of stuff bothers you, don't read this book. This book gives a good introduction to the why's and how's of profiling and is helpful for the student.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
